Use this guide to replace the Force Touch gasket in your Apple Watch Series 2. This guide shows the procedure while leaving the display connected. If you prefer to disconnect the display or are replacing the display anyway, please refer to this guide and replace the Force Touch gasket after removing the display.
If your Force Touch function works correctly and you just need new adhesive to re-seal your watch, follow the adhesive replacement guide instead.
Wat je nodig hebt

-
Before starting repairs, take your watch off the charger and power it down.
-
-
-
Prepare an iOpener (or grab a hair dryer or heat gun) and heat the face of the watch until it's slightly too hot to touch.
-
Leave the iOpener on the watch for at least a minute to fully heat the screen and soften the adhesive holding it to the case.
-
-
-
Place the edge of a curved blade into the thin gap between the display and the outer case. Start at the short side of the display, closest to the digital crown.
-
Press firmly straight down into the gap.
-
Once inserted, tilt the blade to pry the display open slightly.
-
-
-
-
Use a Y000 driver to remove the Tri-point screw securing the metal battery connector cover.
-
Remove the cover.

-
Use the tip of a pry tool to disconnect the Force Touch gasket by prying it straight up from the outside edge.

Lift up the connector plate of the Force Touch gasket.

Slide your tweezers or a pry tool underneath the gasket to separate the glue underneath.

Apply a little bit of isopropyl alcohol (>90%) to a Q-tip or use a cleaning pad to gently remove any remaining adhesive from the former force touch gasket.

Flip the watch upside-down so the display lays flat while slightly lifting up the case.

Carefully remove any remaining adhesive from the back of the display.

Use a pair of tweezers to carefully remove the protective liner from the bottom of your new Force Touch gasket, exposing the adhesive underneath.

Hola Jaime! Bienvenido! Muchas gracias por tu comentario. Nos alegra que te guste nuestro sitio. Cualquier duda que tengas, no dudes en consultarme. Soy la moderadora y líder de la comunidad hispanohablante.
The gasket comes with all the necessary adhesive or you need to put he the sealing adhesive separately? I need to replace my screen and I got the gasket and screen but don’t know if I need glue to waterproof it?
I bought iFixit’s battery replacement kit and the gasket which I received had adhesive on both sides, just like in this guide.
The repair kit does comes with extra gasket adhesive, which confused me at first. The extra adhesive is included in case you manage to open the watch without damaging the original gasket.
I have no idea why they include the extra adhesives. When I tried to use one the screen sat too high and it looked bad.
